For this week's TV Talk Live at noon Thursday (that is, today), I'm thinking about the 2013-2014 TV season, and what programs and performances are the best of the best. What would you vote for as program of the year? Which performances stand out, both in drama and comedy? What miniseries, reality show, or news and information programs are award-worthy?

For our weekly live chat in the comments about TV-related matters, I'm asking for your input on stand-out shows and performances. I have an ulterior motive for this, namely helping me ponder my choices for this year's Television Critics Association Awards.

Compiled from nominations suggested by my fellow members of the TCA -- a media organization comprised of more than 200 TV critics and reporters from the U.S. and Canada -- this year's list of nominees are a daunting group. I have my favorites, but I'd like to get some conversation going about what your choices would be.

The awards will be presented July 19, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, as part of the summer TCA press tour. (And no, they're not televised.)

What are your choices for the year's top shows and performances? Here's the list, and don't forget to join me here at noon today:
